All human beings are equal in rights and dignity and respected the way they are, irregardless skin color, religion, gender, physical health, age or sexual orientation.(tbc)
A world where every human being can rely on the protection and execution of their human rights, including their social rights. This implies the availability of the most important public goods like health services, public education systems, public transport etc. and a strict no to their destruction.

A just world in which everyone’s human rights are fully guaranteed:
- A decent work with a living wage that enables a decent life in dignity
- The possibility to organize in unions, organisations, associations to defend, guarantee and extend our rights
- A social system that provides good social security (health, unemployment, pension insurance, etc.) financed by a taxation system that taxes also corporations and entrepreneurs instead of just the working class.

The commons can be seen as a social system that intimately associates people or stakeholders with their resources and the participatory and mindful ways they are managing/producing/caring for them.

Commons can be described in a variety of ways and along several dimensions. The three below function together as a whole:

• As object, the commons are the Common Wealth, the assets that we inherit or create, use and change, and that serve our livelihood (our natural, social and cultural resources, genetic and biological diversity, knowledge, etc), that people pass on to future generations. These assets need to be nurtured, (re)generated and to be indiscriminately accessible to the greatest number. They must therefore be protected against capture, over-exploitation, depletion and abuse.

• As practice, the commons are the Common Ethos of which people are an integral part; the culture and the relationships they build with each other, with their resources and with the earth, the ways of being and doing in common (caring, sharing, nurturing, replenishing our common assets with discernment, transparency, empathy, equity, justice, mindfulness…). This practice critically depends on sustained and adaptive know-how, on increased knowledge flows, and continuous collaboration and learning including ways of working together on problem solving. This practice takes multiple forms and names. Sustainable living and development is one of them.

• As result, the commons are the Common Good, the outcomes of the practice (access, capacity, well being, quality of life, prosperity, abundance). They are the life blood of the process, those that make the world thrive, and become in turn assets to nurture…

Because of the relationships and interactions between these various elements, the commons are generative systems, which provide the tangible conditions that empower and enable communities in relation to their purpose and to the ecological contexts they find themselves in, at various levels and scales.

From this perspective, commons may serve as a medium for accelerating the adoption of sustainable practices that address social, environmental and economic dimensions in a sustainable, cohesive and interconnected manner. They can also serve as a vetting system to assess the impact of sustainability policies and practices.

Thus nurturing, and growing the commons in all their dimensions and manifestations can serve as a guiding vision for global citizenship and global justice.

True global ctizenship means that all people have access to participate and influence. It is crucial to involve different groups, e.g. youth and children, minorities, people in vulnerable position. Otherwise, we cannot talk about global movement. It demands that barriers of participation are explored and different ways of participation are provided and created.
Inclusion is about will, it is about different methods of including people, it is about justice.
Global citizenship gives us responsiblities and rights, these should cover all citizens.
In practise, inclusion means that e.g. youth and children are provided platforms to speak up. It means that children and youth are taken as equal partners. In my reality, I try to find meaningful spaces for children and youth to participate.

A world without development cooperation but a world of international solidarity in which the sentence that I found on a picture of a trade union office in Bangladesh has become reality: „If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound with mine, then let us work together!“ (Quote is originally coming from Aboriginal activists group, Queensland, 1970s)

While the impact of the use of the resources of the planet is felt by all, decision on how to use the resources and the benefit of those resources, goes to only a few.
One proposal to overcome this is to set up an 'Earth Trust' with all citizens (not countries) being trustees, and which will govern all resources of the earth as a common.

For me Global justice means equal rights for all present and the next generations on the resources, knowledge and decision making about the planet
It means that the entire nature, the earth, natural resources, production, the knowledge, and experiences of the human beings, are common property of the mankind and all the human beings have equal right on these resources and knowledge including the people presently living on earth and those who will live on the earth after us.

Global Citizenship for me
We the human beings are living on the same planet, all the lines have been drawn by different powerful groups to establish their domain for themselves. Whenever they have needed the resources of the other group, they have entered there and have captured the human capital as well as human resources. When these powerful groups have felt any threat, they have drawn circles around them to stop the entry of the other people.
Does Global Citizenship Exist.
Yes the history of mankind is common; the global citizen is there from the very first day of emerging of humankind. But there are some circles and hurdles created by interest groups.
If these groups need human resources they recruit it from the poor countries and if they need quality brain then they buy these brains, which we call brain drains.
The people of one area and county always use the products and raw material of the other countries.
The people of East suffer a lot if there are problems in the markets of West.

If we want to create a more just world we need to change the rules underlying the way our world works. These rules are not 'natural laws' but have been created by those in power in order to serve their own interests. These rules (related to trade, taxes, food production etc) support growing inequality and allow the emergence of extreme wealth alongside extreme poverty. We as citizens need to join together and push for change so that the rules that govern the system support the interests of the majority of the world's citizens, as well as the well-being of the planet. A new campaign "The rules" is working on this: http://www.therules.org/.

Promoting universal justice may be achieved by a focus on fair processes that champion for citizen participation and representation.
Justice is, however, a complex concept. It can refer to treating people equally, righting wrongs done to others, what people may rightfully claim from others, or what people are due.
Global justice in Kenya is discussed in relation to the gap between rich and poor, the vulnerability of people to abuse, violence, occupation, exclusion, humiliation, disease, and starvation, north-south relations(aid effectiveness),among others.

Global citizenship requires people to come together and to stand up and be heard on issues that are common to us all as humans and as co-inhabitants of the planet. In operating as a global community, a few key principles may be beneficial to adopt for current issues and those that may arrive in the future:
1) The majority is responsible for considering the interests of both the global community and the impacted minority. In operating as a global community, a social contract should prohibit the majority from constraining justice or human rights on the minority.
2) All efforts should be made to ensure the vocal minority never misrepresents the silent majority when it comes to major global issues
3) The community is responsible for acting in the "commons" - the scope of the global interest should be defined, revisited, and agreed to on a regular basis. A supermajority should be required to change scope.
4) Any global leadership forces, whether they be institutional or grassroots, must always be 100% accountable and transparent to their supporters and the global community at large.
5) Efforts should always be made to find common ground - we should agree to always seek consensus on the issues that impact the world, even (and especially) if that means compromising, finding higher-level agreement, and/or agreeing to more discussion on certain details.

In moving forward, I urge civil society to avoid eliminating leadership roles and forces and instead adopt processes to maximize transparency and accountability. Leadership of some kind, if only on the local level, will always be required in a civil society and to enact global change.

As we transition from traditional top-down societies into a global networked society, technology will be core to maintaining the health of CSOs everywhere. With more people connecting, our civil society technology infrastructure must be safe from oligarchical control, self-serving bias, and exploitation. Global technologies should be leveraged to help a Citizens Movement grow and should be critical to open participation, transparency, and accountability.

In short, a Global Citizens Movement should engage all citizens through inclusive technology.

Global justice should be one that considers the human being as an actor and beneficiary of all forms of economic, social, cultural and political development. The basis for this global justice must be solidarity, cooperation and strengthening mechanism of prevention and repression of injustices, abuses and violations in all areas at the local, national, regional and international level.

When I meet with people from all over the world, every time I am surprised by how connected our struggles are. We can live miles away, with different experiences and backgrounds, in different contexts, but we can feel close. Global citizenship is about being a citizen on a the same planet based on these unfair rules and systems we want to change.
